I finally found something to improve on it :)  In just about every
picture I've ever seen of a '57 Bel Air, the grill is yellow/gold,
which adds some nice color and uniqueness to the car.

Huh? The models on the reference pictures I downloaded from
the internet (approx. 40) and the 2 Chevys I saw for real
didn't have a yellow/gold grille.

Hmm, maybe I should have looked at some more pictures before making such
a broad statement.  Anyway, some Bel Air convertibles *do* have a yellow
or goldish grill.  You may want to try and see how it looks?  Gold
chrome tiles would be quite a bit harder to gather than regular chrome,
however :(

Maybe If I had the 6039 octagonal cones (which aren't quite as
high as the ones I used), I would have tried those instead (with
the 1x1 black round plate on top) to see how it would look.

What about a Cylinder 2 x 2 with Dome Top

Hi (...) Huh? The models on the reference pictures I downloaded from the internet (approx. 40) and the 2 Chevys I saw for real didn't have a yellow/gold grille. But I might consider doing it in "chrome" if anyone gives me 48 of the 1x2 chrome grille (...) (23 years ago, 8-Jan-02, to lugnet.modelteam)
